إنجيل القدّيس متّى .9-1:13
خَرَجَ يَسُوعُ مِنَ البَيْت، فَجَلَسَ على شَاطئِ البُحَيْرَة
وٱحْتَشَدَتْ لَدَيْهِ جُمُوعٌ كَثِيْرَة، حَتَّى إِنَّهُ صَعِدَ إِلى السَّفِينَةِ وجَلَس. وكَانَ الجَمْعُ كُلُّهُ واقِفًا على الشَّاطِئ
فَكَلَّمَهُم بِأَمْثَالٍ عَنْ أُمُورٍ كَثِيْرَةٍ قَائِلاً: هُوَذَا الزَّارِعُ خَرَجَ لِيَزْرَع
وفيمَا هُوَ يَزْرَع، وقَعَ بَعْضُ الحَبِّ على جَانِبِ الطَّرِيق، فَجَاءَتِ الطُّيُورُ وأَكَلَتْهُ
ووَقَعَ بَعْضُهُ الآخَرُ في أَرْضٍ صَخْرِيَّةٍ تُرَابُهَا قَلِيل، فَنَبَتَ في الحَالِ لأَنَّ تُرَابَهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَمِيقًا
وأَشْرَقَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَٱحْتَرَق، وإِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ أَصْلٌ يَبِس
ووَقَعَ بَعْضُهُ الآخَرُ بَينَ الشَّوْك، فَطَلَعَ الشَّوْكُ وخَنَقَهُ
ووَقَعَ بَعْضُهُ الآخَرُ في الأَرْضِ الجَيِّدَة، فَأَثْمَرَ بَعْضُهُ مِئَة، وبَعْضُهُ سِتِّين، وبَعْضُهُ ثَلاثِيْن
مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنَانِ فَلْيَسْمَع
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 12:13-21.
Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.”
He replied to him, “Friend, who appointed me as your judge and arbitrator?”
Then he said to the crowd, “Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one’s life does not consist of possessions.”
Then he told them a parable. “There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest.
He asked himself, ‘What shall I do, for I do not have space to store my harvest?’
And he said, ‘This is what I shall do: I shall tear down my barns and build larger ones. There I shall store all my grain and other goods
and I shall say to myself, “Now as for you, you have so many good things stored up for many years, rest, eat, drink, be merry!”
But God said to him, ‘You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?’
Thus will it be for the one who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich in what matters to God.”
